802.11n enabler (AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001/2007-001 update)

Hi,
I'm thinking of getting time capsule and then getting the 802.11n enabler.
On the UK apple store(http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=17BDE0AD&fnode= home/shopmac/mac_accessories/airportwireless&nplm=D4141) it states i need the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001, but I can't find it.
On the US store (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?find=en abler) it states i need the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002 update. I found that one and downloaded it but when trying to install it says "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update".
What do I need to to get this update??
Do I already have it??
Am I even able to get 802.11n??
Any help will be welcomed
For clarification these are my specs taken from system profiler.
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB

So it looks like I can't get 802.11n on my mac then. Oh well, good excuse for a new mac.
The apple store is quite misleading then it says you need either:
MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo
MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo
Mac Pro with AirPort Extreme option
iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (except the 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)
I have the latter iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (2.16Ghz), will probably get time capsule anyway though.

Connecting airport express 802.11n to airport extreme

Does anyone know how to connect my express to my extreme? I would like to extend my network and use my express for audio using airtunes.

liliroseruth, Welcome to the discussion area!
If the AirPort Express (AX) and AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) are both 802.11n capable, configure the AEBS to allow the network to be extended. Configure the AX to extend a wireless network.
If either the AX or the AEBS is not 802.11n capable, configure the AEBS to act as a WDS main base station. Configure the AX to act as a WDS remote base station.

AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac 4 use with Touch?

Hello,
I have a 2nd Gen Touch with the latest updated software. I use Airport to connect to the internet on my new iMac 24". Will the AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler software now offered in the Apple store($1.99) for Mac improve communications between the Touch and my iMac?
Thanks

Nope. Your touch is still limited to b/g mode wireless. In fact, if you have an all n network, your touch won't even know that it exists.
Most of your Mac to iPod communication is via the USB cable unless you are using Remote or other applications that can move files on and off.
BTW, that software is to enable early intel Macs to use N wireless. If your Mac is relatively new, you won't need it.

AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler

The Apple Store page for this 'Enabler' says it comes included with the latest AEBS. If this is so, how do you access the update to install it on your machines? There seems to be a complete lack of information on this.
Any help greatly appreciated...

I've purchased the update and i am not able to install it. I get as far as to the point where you have to choose the HD where you want to install it in. I get a red exclamation mark saying "You cannot install Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
I have installed all the software updates and still getting this message....Can anybody help me/tell me what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks for any help!!

AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler Problems

I just bought the AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for my 2 GHz MacBook with and Intel Core 2 Duo processor recently and when I try to install it, it tells me, "Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update." I have installed all of the software updates that are available and it is still not working. Anyone have any ideas?!

There isn't much you can do... There are ways of taking apart your macbook and replacing the Airport extreme card inside but it probably isn't worth it. I guess thats about it.
Just next time, make sure you check what hardware you have before buying.

Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler software

Today I purchased an Airport Extreme and was able to set it up quickly
on my iMac (2.15 GHz Intel Core Duo). I was also able to connect to it
on my MacBook (2.0 GHz Core Duo). In looking at the connection information
from the Airport the MacBook is connected using 802.11a.
The Apple Store says that the Airport Extreme includes the 802.11n enabler software, but
I was only able to find the software package for controlling the router.
I must be missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry but Core Duo Macs do not have 802.11n hardware.
Only Core 2 Duo Macs have the 802.11n hardware.
The enabler is on the disc but isn't compatible with your Macs.

AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler not working

Hello, I just installed the Time Capsule software onto my 1st gen MacBook. I saw that it installed the AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler, but after looking at the network utility. All that show up is: Wireless Network Adapter (802.11 a/b/g), it does not give the little 'n.' I ran the installer twice, but no joy. Any help would be great!
Thanks!

ursina, Welcome to the discussion area!
Go to the Apple menu and select about this Mac. Does it say "Intel Core Duo" or "Intel Core 2 Duo"?
Only the Macs with "Intel Core 2 Duo" processors have the 802.11n hardware. If you Mac book has the "Intel Core Duo" processor the enabler is useless.

Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler wont install

hi,
i just bought the Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler for my MacBook Intel Core Duo. when i opened the disk image and tried to install, i got an alert saying my computer does not meet the hardware requirements - even though it is a MacBook Intel Core Duo.
i followed all instructions on the Apple Store page before purchasing, including checking my Network Utility to verify whether i needed the software. currently i only have the 802.11 a/b/g adapter. see:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=B4 8E8262&nplm=D4141ZM%2FA
any suggestions? my MacBook is a week 25 model.
thanks,

Your computer needs to be a Core 2 Duo-based Mac for the enabler to install, as the necessary hardware isn't present on an older processor or a 1.83GHz 17-inch iMac. If your computer supports the enabler, install this software and try installing the enabler again.

How to install AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler?

I just bought the Airport Extreme and I have the CD that came with it loaded. I'm installing the package that is on the CD and it reads that the following items are available for installation and one of them is the Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler. I "continue" and it only allows me to do a basic upgrade. How do I know that the Enabler was correctly installed and I can now access using 802.11n?
I have a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.33Ghz

Steve, fire up your Network Utility. You can find it in your Utilities folder. From the row of tabs across the top of the window select "Info" - the first option on the left. Nxt select the "network interface for information". You'll be wanting "(en1)". At the bottom of the info you'll see an entry for "Model Wireless Network Adapter". In parenthesis under this title will be "802.11" and some letters. If you see a letter "n" then it means the enabler did its thang!
To actually select how your computer will communicate with that little white box with the green light on the front (um...it is green, isn't it?) then fire up your Airport Utility. Select "Manual" setup. Make sure you have the Airport icon highlighted at the top of the window then select the "Wireless" tab. The "Radio Mode" entry is where you do your bit to select "g", "n" or whatever in 2.4GHz or 5GHz.
I find it best to do one thing at a time. Slower but at least I can undo the mess easily.

AirPort Extreme 802.11n* Enabler for Mac

I just downloaded the enabler for my 20" iMac and when I try to install it, it states "Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update." It's my understanding that only the 17" iMac and the Mac mini aren't supported. Anyone else experience this?

If you recently got you imac and it's a core 2 duo, check if you already have it installed using this quote form appleinsider.com
The company recommends that customers check to make sure that their Mac does not already have the 802.11n enabler installed before purchasing the software patch. To do so, Intel Mac owners should open the "Network Utility" application (found in the Applications > Utilities folder), choose "Network Interface (en1)" under the "Info" tab, and then inspect the information provided under "Model: Wireless Network Adapter." If it says "(802.11a/b/g/n)," the Mac already has the 802.11n enabler installed. If it says (802.11a/b/g), the Mac does not have the 802.11n enabler installed.

Aiport extrem 802.11n enabler doesn't work

Hi everybody
I purchased a belkin N1 Wireless router. This allows the n connection and therefore I also purchased the 802.11n enabler.
The problem is, that this enabler says that I doesn't have the required hardware.
I have a MacBook Pro (Intel CoreDuo). What did I wrong?
Can anybody help me there?
Thanks in advance
PS: I also installed AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002

MacBooks with Core 2 Duo processors are eligible for the 802.11n update, but not the earlier MacBooks with the Core Duo processors.

802.11n Enabler Doesn't Want To Install

I have a new MacBook 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and when I downloaded the new Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler it tells me that my computer doesn't have the correct hardware. I am missing something here? Everything I have read tells me that this should work and this hardware should be built in. Let me know if you have any insights...thanks

Grahamstine, Welcome to the discussion area!
Are you certain that your MacBook has the 'Core 2 Duo'? There are 2 different 2 GHz MacBooks. One has a 'Core Duo' processor and the other has a 'Core 2 Duo' processor.
Go to the Apple menu and select "About this Mac". It will tell you what type of processor your MacBook has.
If your MacBook does have a 'Core 2 Duo' processor, ensure that you have installed the AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001.

802.11n* Enabler will not install

hey guys.
I have purchased my copy of the 802.11n* Enabler for my 20" iMac Core 2 Duo 2GHz, but I keep getting a message saying "Your computer does not meet the hardware requirements for this update.".
My iMac meets all of the requirments as far as I know (Leopard 15.5)
I also tried installing it on my Macbook (Tiger 14.9) but I get the same message.
any thoughts as to why this is and how I can fix it??
thanks

Airport Extreme refers to my wireless card build it right, and not my router (which is not an airport, but is an "n").
Apple uses the term "AirPort Extreme" for the built-in wireless on the newer Macs so it tends to get confusing when they use the same term for their base stations. In this case, the "n" enabler is a firmware update to the built-in AirPort Extreme in your iMac. Similarly the "AirPort Extreme Update 2007-002" is a software update for this same built-in device. All firmware updates to the base station itself are done through the AirPort Utility.
I'm not sure why you are having difficulty updating your iMac as it appears, according to your description, to be eligible. To double-check, that it may already be installed take a look at this Apple article: How to tell if 802.11n-enabling software is installed

Can't perform 802.11n enabler upgrade on MacBook!

I wonder if anybody could help?!
I've just bought the 802.11n enabler software for my 2Ghz MacBook. I have installed all updates suggested by Software Update, and when I run the 802.11n enabler it says that my hardware is not compatible with the upgrade.
I tried to manually install the 2007-002 and 2007-003 Airport Extreme updates, but when I run these I am not able to use them because it says the hard disc is not a valid volume.
Is there something I am missing?
Thanks in advance!

I think you'll find that your MacBook is not compatible.
The only hardware that works are Macs that shipped with the 802.11n hardware already installed.
The compatible hardware were all MacPros and iMacs and laptops with Core 2 Duos. The Core Duo machines were earlier models.
